Re: Detroit
Throwing labels around is never conducive to honest conversation. You have acknowledged many, many times on this forum that the black experience in America differs significantly from that of the white (such as the post preceding this one). Why would that different experience not translate to their abilities at self governance on a macro level? Is it because the connotations attached to my acknowledgement of those different circumstances are not quite as sympathetic as when you highlight them?
You cannot have it both ways. You cannot claim on the one hand that African Americans are poor rubes with no ability to understand changing economic conditions, as you did, and then whinge with righteous indignation when I suggest that maybe such people aren't the best at making informed decisions in their best interest.
